gift for son's teacher-foot tile-question...
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2003 6:14 pm
My son's teacher recently had a baby and I wanted to cast a tile of the baby's foot. I have taken an impression of his foot with dental alginate and poured a plaster cast. What medium should I use to now make a negative cast for the positive glass foot?
Should I mix up some hydroperm-wait until it's nearly set the impress the plaster (Pamed) foot into it?
I've only casted making a "sculpey" frog on a lilipad pos. then hydroperm.neg. I don't want to have to destroy the plaster foot in any way--have to keep the options open...
Any suggestions? I checked the archives and couldn't access anything.
Thanks!!!! Kelly
